Hey how's it going? The drum editor was designed more towards just getting the ticks on the grid because in /general/ one is not concerned with drum note length. However, for the odd sound where it matters, the length of the drum notes can be adjusted with the note length box on one of the tool bars. As you can see, the visual drum ticks were not designed to have any 'length'. (In technical terms the drum canvas is the only one which is /not/ virtual, that is, items drawn on it do /not/ care about magnification and length etc. the drum items are constant 'diamond' size.) So even if we allow the length 'value' to be adjusted visually while resizing, one cannot even see what one is doing, because there's no visual length. Yeah, I know I thought about this while I was in there, but what could I do? It would mean basically turning the drum editor into the piano roll. In this case I turned it into an advantage by making movement behavior different than the piano roll. One can just get the notes on the grid easier than the piano roll (well, only in that you don't have to press RightClick/Ctrl to move them around). So I'd recommend either opening the part in the piano roll if you have a such notes sensitive to length and you really want to see and adjust the length visually, or use the drum editor's note length box.

With the four adjustable drum velocity levels LV1 to LV4, there are hotkey combos which you press before you draw a new drum note, and it will draw the note with the chosen velocity level. The tool tips describe the hotkeys.
